MILLIONS OF VETERANS.
When the Yankee boys come marching home there
is going -to be a tremendous lot of them. And because
. of the well-known American penchant for "joining" and
"belonging" the "veteran" business is certainly going to
boom.
r Very likely the inevitable movement to organize our
fighting men into some sort of fraternal order is already
under way. If not, it will surely not be long delayed. ' We
may expect to have soon a military society which, in num
bers and potential influence, will dwarf the Grand Army
of the Republic or the Confederate Veterans, or both of
them together.
It will take in, of course, all those who have gone to
fight our battles overseas. Very likely it will include, in
order to avoid invidious distinctions, all who have worn
their country's uniform in home camp or cantonment or
any branch of special service. If anywhere near all the
elig'ibles joion and we may trust the American fraternal
spirit for that we shall have about 4,000,000 members of
.the new lodge in our civilian midst ere long.
Their buttons and pins and ribbons will be a familiar
sight on the street and wherever men congregate. Their
regalia will gladden lodge-rooms Over all this broad land.
Soon, too, we may expect to have Wives of Veterans
and Sisters of Veterans and Mothers of Veterans. And in
the fulness of time, if we run true to form- we shall be
' blest with Sons and Daughters of Veterans, to be suc
ceeded in turn by Grandsons and Granddaughters of Vet
erans, and perhaps in the dimmer future by indiscriminate
generations characterizing themselves merely as Descend
ants of Veterans, for aught we know, unto the end of
time". If this is the last big war, as we so fervently hope, it
is a reasonable expectation.
And it is all right. Far be it from any carping civil
ian, who merely stayed and worked hard, but safely to
. win the war, to curl his lip or point a supercilious finger at
the brave lads who fought and bled and came home to
fulfil their manifest destiny.
We do not grudge them their public honors, nor their
insignia, nor their freedom of select and mystic shrines
closed to no common folk. Nor do we fear the political
power they might conceivably wield. For we know that
these champions of Americanism in foreign lands will
come back better Americans than ever.
Germany will drift into' a state of anarchy, murder
and pillage, just as Russia has under the bolsheviki regime.
Socialism is now in complete control throughout the for
mer empire and starts out with a promise of keeping order
and establishing a just and stable government
Russia started out the same way after the czar had
been deposed in a bloodless revolution. Kerensky, the so
cialist dreamer, whose entrancing oratory swayed the
crowd, was in charge of affairs with" full opportunity to
put his beautiful theories of social political and property
equality into effect. Everybody was willing to allow the
experiment and the test of socialism in practice was ap
parently fair and sincere.
" The experiment was a failure. Everybody quit work
and nobody obeyed the orders of the government when! to i only done by men. They arc do
compulsion was removed.' -Then the anarchists came toiaJ
the fore as they always do in such situations and begun to e parlor ornaments or kucnen
to rule with bloody injustice. Russia has run red with 5 r
innocent uioou oecause socialistic areams were anowea
to form a government following the dethroning of the
czar, and the end is not in sight. '
Germany is destined to travel the road Russia has
traveled. Her successive steps toward anarchy will be
the same unless the allies interfere with armed force to
insure order.
Anarchy outlasts socialistic government because it
is stronger although its objectives are as absurd as the
Utopian dreams of the socialism that always precedes it.

A DEAD STOMACH
"With all those shells bursting all around them, the
noise was deafening. I found a dozen of them sitting on
the tire-step arguing about blackberry pies. Can you
imagine that? And I think it is typical of the Yank that
he does act that way when the danger is the worst."
Of course, the dozen were American soldiers. This
incident is told by a lieutenant in a Jetter home. Un
doubtedly they hadn't seen a blackberry pie since they
left the United States. But they probably had decided
views on the subject. There may even have been one or
two Yanks in the group who were "agin" that particular
variety of pie.
It isn't and never was in Fritz's power to spoil a good
American argument on any subject whatever. When the
time came for those boys to leave the fire-step and go
out after Germans, they went in regular American fash
ion, cool and quick and thorough. They just shifted their
interest to the job in hand and did it.

RIPPLING RHYMES ,
By Utelt Mason
SOLDIERING.
It makes me tired when men complain of sleet or mud
or wind or rain. They look out from a cozy room and
see the skies enwrapped in gloom, and groan because they
may "get damp while going for a postage s amp. The sol
dier has to fight out doors, however hard the water pours;
he cannot sit beside the fire and make a brutal foe ex
pire; he cannot bear a parasol to shield him from the
waterfall. The soldier stays outdoors to fight, the weary
day, the bitter night; he hears his comrades dying groans,
the cold is crawling through his bones. Methinks that
when the boys come back from streaming trench and
muddy track, they'll look with pity and disdain, on gents
who murmur and complain. A man will say, "Ding bust
the sleet! It puts rheumatics in my feet! The weather
is the limit now; confound this climate, anyhow!" And
then some soldier who has slept on battlefields by tempest
swept, will say, "A grown-up shouldn't bawlgo home
and get your rubber doll." On, when the boys come home
again, we'll see a lot of man-size men, and they may teach
us to forget our tendency to whine and fret.

CHAPTER LX.YXV.
Arthur Mandel had looked into
Buth llnckett'e eyes ami had diviiiod
.something imt quite happy in their
depths, it troubled, while in u way it
encouraged him to believe the timo
might come more quickly than he had
dared hope when he could call her his
own.
Now as ho sat opposite her at
luncheon, he was sure ho hud read her
aright. Something had caused that
haunting look of uuhappiuess in her
eyes. Had he been still moro keenly
alive to her moods, ho would have no-
tii-cd thut it followed some reference to
either her husband, or some man who
was in the same profession, and who
whs making a success.
The luncheon was perfect, and per
fectly served. Mrs. Cluybome beaniod.
She was delighted with this employer
of Ruth's. He was the sort of man she
understood; and of whom she approved.
As tho meal progressed she became
more positive that she had been right;
that Mandel was in love with Kuth.
At the same time she discovered that
Kuth herself was totally unconscious of
it.

"Clever man!" she said to herself.
And he vrose still higher m her esti
mation.
Mrs. Clnyborne was a clevor, intelli
gent woman. She knew that it took
tact and poise fuj- a man to bo, day af
tor day, iu the company of the woman
with whom no wag iu Jove, aud keep
it from her.
"Vts, I 'll make quite a stny," sho
decided, just as Mr. Mandel said:
"I hope you intend to remain with
Mrs. Hacked some time, Mrs. Clay-
borne f And that J shall have the
pleasure of helping to entertain you,
He had sensed this woman's liking for
him at once. Tho good impression he
had made. It would bo easy to turn it
to liia advantage with Kuth, did she
remain long enough.
"I shall bo here some little time,'
sho replied, to Ruth's astonishment.
(She lmd said nothing about making a
long visit, and had brought very little
baggage.) This she went on to ex
plain: "I am In need of many things.
I shall replenish my wardrobe while
here. I brought "very little, with that
end in view." ' ' .
"You will wish Mrs. Hackett to shop
with you." Then ho turned to Kuth:
" Whenever Mrs. Clayborne wishes,
please fuel entirely freo to accompany
her on her shopping excursions."
"That is more than kind," Mrs.
Clayborne returned, "But I shall not
require Kuth to neglect her work for
mo. I lmvo bought my clothes in New
York many years. 1 shall havo no
trouble outfitting myself alone." 61
would not bo tho means of taking Buth
away from this man, even to holp her
shop.
Mrs. Clayborne was good woman;
but a woildly one. She had realised
something was not quite right with
Ruth and Brian, and had immediately
jumped to the conclusion that it was
money that Ruth had worked because
Brian could no provide for her; and
that her love for the work was only a
pose to excuso his deficiency.
: That Kuth really loved her work
that she " preferred to do it, oven tho
she had not felt it necessary, would
not havo seemed reasonable to her
aunt. Sho had not nndorstood things,
very well, when so far away. She
still felt it was beneath Buth to work,
yet if she must, there was no place she
could be where sho would be treated as
sh.e waa by Arthur Mandel.
Their luncheon finished, Mandel
scut them home in a cab. after asking
if he might send them tickets for the
opera on Monday night, if they were
free to go. They accepted with delight,
ib a startling fact, the truth of which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swal
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin
and other strong digesters,, mado es
pecially to digest the food in the stom

digestive membrane of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relievo dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a Dew
weeks they build up the run down stom

its own food. Then indigestion, belch'

SCHOOL-DAY STRAIN
A parent troubled over a child or a fast-growing
youth, could do no better than to utilize the
definite help that
affords as a strengthening and nourishing factor.
A very little of Scott's every day, during a time
ot stress, furnishes elements of nourishment essential
to the blood and tends to confirm a growing child
in robustness. For your boy or girl, you will not
be satisfied with anything short of Scott's.
